4 Overview p. 7
The Gateway Mobile Location Centre (GMLC) is the network entity in the 5G Core Network (5GC) supporting Location Services (LCS). Within the 5GC, the GMLC offers services to the AMF, GMLC, NEF, NWDAF and LMF via the Ngmlc service based interface (see TS 23.501, TS 23.502 and TS 23.273).
Figure 4-1 provides the reference model (in service based interface representation and in reference point representation), with focus on the GMLC:
The functionalities supported by the GMLC are listed in clause 4.3.3 of TS 23.273.
